AssemblyYour hard floor cleaner assembles quickly and easily, no tools required.

Assemble Your Vac & Steam™Insert the body into the foot until you hear the locking tab click. Insert the handle into the body of the unit until you hear a locking tab click.

WARNINGDo not plug in your hard floor cleaner until you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.

Special FeaturesEasy Touch Digital ControlsThe fingertip power controls are located on the front of the handle. Settings include: (HI) – High Steam Use for durable floors or on sticky messes. To turn steam on, press once. Click again to turn steam off. Can be used simultaneously with the vacuum function or separately as a steam mop only.(LO) – Low Steam Use on delicate floors or for light, everyday cleaning. To turn steam on, click once. Click again to turn steam off. Can be used simultaneously with the vacuum function or separately as a steam mop only.NOTE: You must select a steam setting first and then hold down the hand trigger to produce steam.(VAC) – Vacuum On/off switch. Can be used simultaneously with either steam function or separately as a stick vacuum only.NOTE: All settings can be used alone or either steam setting can be used simultaneously with the vacuum setting.

Microfibre Mop PadsReusable microfibre mop pads are machine washable and safe for virtually all hard floor surfaces. The white microfibre pad is best for everyday use on delicate flooring like sealed hardwoods and laminate. The gray and white striped pad can be used for scrubbing heavily soiled floors and cleaning tougher messes.

WARNINGBe sure to turn off vacuum mode if you encounter liquid on the floor.

» Do not attempt to use your hard floor cleaner on the steam setting without water in the tank. You may hear a knocking sound indicating there is no water.

Tip

WARNING Appliance will not pick up crayons, marbles and other large objects.

WARNINGExercise extreme care when using the Vac & Steam™ on hardwood floors. Prolonged application of steam in one area increases the risk of damage to the surface treatment on timber floors. Test steam mop in an inconspicuous area before mopping a large area. The steam mop generates hot steam, so move the unit continuously when depressing the trigger. The trigger does not need to be depressed at all times. Regular foot traffic and direct sunlight will wear down timber floor surface treatment, making it more susceptible to steam damage. Check with your timber floor treatment and application specialist prior to steam mop operation.
